What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Astor + Banks Chrono

Owners widely praise the Astor + Banks Chrono for its sporty design, wrist-friendly 38.5mm size, and enthusiast-friendly price starting at $525. One reviewer notes the date numeral is consistently half in shadow due to deep-set placement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Chrono highly for its design and value at the price point.

AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph's airplane-inspired dial design and the comfortable, soft leather strap with a no-break-in clasp. However, one owner notes that the case, crown, and glass crystal fitment left much to be desired, feeling cheap, and the mineral glass is prone to scratching. The watch is considered overpriced for its features, though appealing when found on sale. On balance, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph appealing for its unique dial and comfortable strap, despite concerns about case finishing and the mineral crystal.
